Johnson City Mayor Greg Deemie announced today that Lt. Brent G. Dodge will be appointed the next Village of Johnson City Police Chief.  That move will be officially announced at tonight's regular meeting of the Village Board.

Dodge's appointment will be on a provisional basis and become effective on September 18, 2014.  The appointment comes after the decision not to continue the joint Police Chief duties with the City of Binghamton.  Joseph Zikuski has handled both Johnson City and Binghamton Police Chief duties but the Village and City decided not to continue that arrangement.
